inner end of the brace snaps intothe aperture 6 in the wall arm. During this movement of the brace and owing to the eccentricity of the curves at the outer end of the shelf arm and brace, the brace binds with the eflect of firmly securing gether at this point so that no looseness or rattle will occur and, of course, owing to the irregular cross section of the parts they are interlocked against sidewise displacement.

I prefer to form of sheet metal pressed and bent to shape and it will be noted that the construction herein illustrated and described provides a means for manufacturing a stifi rigid bracket with a separable brace which is securely interlocked therewith against displacement in any direction. he interengagement of the projection 5 with the aperture 6 permitscf shipping and handling the bracket as if its two parts were permanently secured together. The inwardly turned ends of the brace and shelf arm provide a hookon whicl articles can be hung. I u

Be it knownthat I, STUART W. PARSONS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Britain, in the county of Hart- 5 ford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets, of which the'following is a specification. I

The object ofthis invention is to produce a device of the character described having features of novelty and advantage and the invention relates particularly to the manu facture of a bracket, having a removable brace and the novel means for connecting the brace to the bracket.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side view of a bracket made in accordance withmy invention the'parts being Fig. Q'is a front view thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the manner of interlocking the brace with the shelf arm. Fig. 4: is a detail view showing the operation 0 interlocking the brace and shelf arm. 1

Referring to the drawings,-a denotes the bracket having the wall arm 1 and the shelf denotes the brace. Both the are made of irregular the bracket in one piece end of the brace or one of these curves can be slightly flattened.
